The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


"A strong desire to post an update on one's Twitter account." Nothing on Google Books or Groups, except a joke about what you get when you eat a bird. Equinox 13:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

It was added to the Collins English Dictionary in 2010, as reported by this this article in The Telegraph. Is that considered a form of attestation? Astral 05:00, 28 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
No, Collins (sadly) adds a lot of nonsense for exactly that reason, to get mentioned in the newspapers and promote itself. We need to attest the word being used, not being mentioned. Equinox 20:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't aware Collins did this. All the Google News Archive hits for "tweet tooth" from the 2000s are about the Collins entry. Doesn't look like it's in very wide use. Astral 09:37, 1 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
So a candidate for Appendix:English dictionary-only terms, then.--Prosfilaes 16:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Failed; deleted; I've not added it to that appendix.​—msh210 (talk) 17:36, 19 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
